I really didn't understand what I was buying
when i ordered this book....but I'm so glad I did. This is
the first written record of Arnis in the philippines, that
can only be found in the Philippine national archives; originally
in archaeic Tagalog that modern Filipinos can't understand.
Rey Galang just brought all this wonderful mystery to the
modern world. Believe there are no sticks here..this is all
blade, all the time! Now I can really see what the old folks
were talking about! The best part is the Classic Espada y
Daga...not stick and knife. Sword and Dagger! Been looking
arond for a real good book on Espada y daga this is it! Plus
the extra Sinawali techniques...thank you Rey Galang I will
be waiting for your next book...please don't stop writing.
